Chapter 53: Neighbors

In the north of my hometown, there is a neighbor Xinzhen who is the same age as me, my grandfather's family is poor, and my grandfather makes a living by working long hours for the landlord's family.

The grandfather gave birth to two sons, the eldest son dog baby, and the second son turtle baby.

The turtle baby was born with a stutter, couldn't speak a complete sentence for a long time, and was sent to Li Tailor's house to learn art at the age of eighteen.

After three years of apprenticeship, she started a tailor by herself, and her business was not bad, and she was able to maintain her family for the time being, but because of her stuttering, she never got married.

Day after day, year after year, his parents broke their hearts for him, Dongzhuang looked for a matchmaker, and Xizhuang entrusted a matchmaker. went on a blind date more than a dozen times, but was not taken by a girl because of stammering.

It was also a turtle baby to run, and at the age of 34, he handed over the peach blossom luck.

That winter, it was freezing and snowing heavily, and it rained for 5 to 6 days in a row, and the snow sealed the door.

One morning, suddenly a pair of mother and daughter, came to beg for food, the mother is 36 years old, the face is yellow and thin, the body is thin, the arm is a begging for rice, although the daughter is thin, there is still a bit of beauty, because of hunger and cold all the way to hardship, the mother fainted in front of the tailor shop, the kind turtle baby mother, helped her into the store, boiled ginger soup to feed her, the woman was relieved. The turtle mother saw that her mother and daughter were pitiful, and left her mother and daughter at home for lunch.

After the meal, the mother and daughter had no intention of leaving, and the two of them started a family routine:

The girl's surname is Susan, she is 16 years old, lives in Fuyang, Anhui Province, and her father died of hunger when she was 10 years old. Her mother, who is in her thirties, lives alone with her.

But because of the absence of a father, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door.

There is a scoundrel in the same village, who often goes to her house to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, and plots against Susan Niang, and the mother and daughter have nothing to do with him.

One day the scoundrel drank some wine at home, and then went to Susan's house to make trouble, and when he saw that Susan was not at home, the scoundrel raped Susan's mother.

In the society at that time, a woman's loss of chastity was the greatest shame, and she couldn't hold her head up in front of people, but Susan's mother didn't dare to complain if she was wronged, and she didn't dare to complain about her suffering, so she had to swallow her anger and live at the bottom of the society for the sake of ten-year-old Susan.

When the scoundrel saw that he succeeded for the first time, Susan's family did not report to the official, knowing his weakness, he was even more cowardly, thinking that the first time was fine, and the second time was naturally a matter of course.

The scoundrel, who had to make inches, went to Susan's house one night, and took advantage of the darkness to force Susan's mother to sleep with her, and said that if she did not agree, she would be abolished.

Susan's mother, who couldn't bear it, was afraid that she would wake up Susan and her daughter would be insulted and hurt, so she suppressed her anger and coaxed her to another bed.

When the scoundrel saw that the conspiracy had succeeded, he was ecstatic, and he thought that the little widow was in his pocket, and he had it at his fingertips, and he had no guard in his heart from before, so he started to have a happy relationship with the widow with peace of mind.

After a violent storm, the scoundrel was exhausted, collapsed on the bed, fell asleep, and dreamed of spring and autumn.

Susan's mother, who washed her face with tears, struggled to get up while the scoundrel was asleep, got dressed, came to her daughter's bed, looked at her sleeping daughter, and thought about her own life, full of feelings and pain.

I cried secretly for a while, thinking about it, especially if I was trying to make a living, endure humiliation, and I don't know what year and month I would have the day to get ahead? It is better to kill the thief to avoid future troubles, and then flee to another country to find a way to live for my daughter.

Determined to make up her mind, with anger from the heart, evil to the guts, a nameless anger burned her mind dizzy, lost her reason, found a sledgehammer under the bed, gritted her teeth and walked to the scoundrel's sleeping bed, the hammer in her hand fell several hammers to end the life of the scoundrel.

stoned the scoundrel to death, Susan Niang sat down on the ground, her faint mind suddenly sobered up, she knew that she had caused a big disaster, and woke up Susan, explaining the cause and effect of killing the scoundrel, and Susan, who was trembling, also collapsed on the bed.

The mother and daughter hid the rogue body in a panic, fled from the house overnight, and have been begging for a living since then.

When it snowed heavily, families were closed, and where could they still get food, so they fainted in front of the tailor's shop.

Seeing that the family is kind-hearted, and Aowa is a tailor, she can entrust her daughter for life, and she is willing to leave Susan with Turtle Wa as his wife, so that Susan can pick up a way to live.

When the turtle baby mother heard it, she was overjoyed and couldn't ask for it. Discussed with her husband and son, the turtle baby's father didn't dream of it, and this good thing that couldn't be found with a lantern actually fell on the turtle baby, and it was really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it didn't take much effort to get it.

The turtle baby was even more overjoyed, and picked up a big bargain without much effort.

Turtle baby's parents agreed to the marriage, and chose a day to have a room with Susan, and the family was filled with laughter.

It's really a flower stuck in cow dung, old husband and young wife, and it becomes a joke. When you go out, you will be mistaken for a father and daughter, and there will be many misunderstandings.

A few days later, Susan left her daughter and was never heard from again.

Susan became pregnant in the grief of missing her mother, and gave birth to a daughter at the end of October.

After a few years, Susan gave birth to three sons and two daughters for the turtle baby. As the children grew up, the parents exchanged their daughters for their eldest son, Shinzane.

Wife Liu is loyal, few words, after passing the door, two children are children, and the second child is a fool, the letter is really a woman and wants a girl.

But at that time, I was catching up with the tension of family planning, and when I saw a pregnant daughter, I would arrest her, whether it was one child or multiple births, and after the family planning office had finished the review, except for one child, no matter the size of the pregnancy month, all of them would have to be miscarried. For this reason, there are many jokes about family planning.

Anyone who was caught having a child went to the family planning office to discuss the explanation, and for a time the family planning office was in a miasma, and the chickens and dogs were restless.

Xinzhen's wife dared to stay at home after she became pregnant, so she had to hide in Tibet and start a guerrilla war.

When she returned home in October, she was expecting to give birth to a daughter, but as a result, she gave birth to two sons, and the angry two only scolded her mother.

After the death of Xinzhen's father, he left the elderly mother to have three sons to take care of, but because the eldest son had many children, it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself. That can still take care of his mother, the second son is single, one person eats enough for the whole family and is not hungry, let alone his mother. The third daughter-in-law is cunning and mean, and she can't see the gray star in her eyes, so she doesn't care if the old lady lives or dies.

In order to support the old mother, the three brothers turned against each other and fought hard, and the old mother did not dare to go to anyone's house, so she had no patience to commit suicide by hanging the beam, but she was dead.
